Florida Literally Scraps Touch-Screen Voting

Posted by kdawson on from the do-not-want dept.

Kaseijin writes "Florida Governor Charlie Crist is getting his wish. The New York Times reports the state will replace touch-screen voting machines with optical-scan models by July 1, 2008 — the most aggressive timetable of any jurisdiciton rethinking this approach to voting. The touch-screen machines most likely will be sold to other jurisdictions or stripped for parts."

    The need to eliminate ALL touch screen immediately. If you are blind, so fucking what. The blind deserve nothing except a fucking Darwin Award anyways. If you are too fucking stupid to use the pen and paper system, then you have no fucking business living let alone voting.

    WASTE YOUR GODDAMNED MOD POINTS
